Ugh.

Not sure if there are more straight up red flags here or concepts that would be catnips to me in the right hands, but are instead also red flags...

I ask for more fantasy sageuks for years and then when Korea properly ventures into them more, and into more completely fictional, non historical and also non "Joseon" ones at that, they all scream "Sic! don't WATCH". I'm doomed. 😂😂😂

Assassins and Fantasy Sageuks SHOULD be my cup of tea, and I do think this writernim has always had a lot of good potential and actually actively tries to better her craft, but ... posession, amnesia, DID, body/soul swapping, and everything else to do with this premise, is a trainwreck just waiting to happen.

The cast is also not encouraging; this already seems like an overly ambitious project let alone with a predominantly green cast. Jihoon was decent in Weak Hero: Class 1, but I don't think this is a wise casting choice for him personally.
Otteoke!

This might be controversial also but the fact that it is yet again a webtoon adaption, is at this point not a plus. There seems to be an overabundance of them and I think I've only ever seen one adaption that I feel is genuinely very good, both the story itself, and the adaption.
(Despite my past foray into webcomics, somehow I have yet to get into Manhwas and webtoons properly, and have really only read 1; coincidentally it wouldn't translate well to screen at all.)

I'm not convinced by this production between the weird story and the casting.

I can't help to see Park Ji Hoon as a boy and not an adult.

I might be open to watching this one.
I think it's fresh that the Royal Family is Sajo and not Yi, so I'm hoping they really embrace the fantasy in that circumvention and write something mentally exciting.

Oh Boy! The cast is green. Too green. But the close shot pictures are asking me to give it a chance. Let this be better than Heavenly Idol, in the green casting I mean, save for Kim Min-kyu.

The only thing that's catching my eye here are the pictures of Hwang Hee 😉 Everything about this production feels off, particularly the FL who appears to lack the gravitas needed for this role (as described). Not so sure about the ML either, whom I've only seen in Flower Crew.

wait, what? the guy *forces* his soul into someone else's body?
how r8pey of him. who thought this was a good idea?
as much as i love fantasy/fantasy saeguks and body-swapping/time-travelling shenanigans, this is just too much. hard pass!

I am not very familiar with the ML her but he looks so young for the role and does not seem to have the required gravita for the role. I know Yeo Jin Goo has already done double role but I think he would have been apt for the role. He is really good in sageuk roles.

OK, I was really excited for this drama because the webtoon has some of the best writing I’ve ever seen, but reading the plot summary on MDL… they seem to have some strange changes and now I don’t know how to feel.

Hwang Hee! The only one grabbing my attention. But he's not enough for me to check out the whole show. :>

I love the jewelry 😍

Man oh man. A fantasy sageuk in a pre-Joseon setting with a complicated romance at its core? On the surface, this should be everything I love in dramas, but that cast... I don't think I've seen a drama that feels this miscast in ages. Even though I'm unfamiliar with the source material, the actors don't feel right for their character descriptions in the slightest. @kimjojo21 above reminded me how much more apt a seasoned sageuk actor like Yeo Jin-goo would've been in a role like this (oh god I want that version so bad now) and I now feel robbed and cheated of something that might've been great.
